NEW
Coming Soon to Swedish Theaters: An ambitious multi-year project, heartfelt and authentic
New in Global Theaters: Unexpectedly brutal at times, but also funny and exciting, its high concept sprinkled with 1980s nostalgia
ABOVE AVERAGE
Life, Larry and the Pursuit of Unhappiness
New on HBO: Very uneven, with some thin sketches mostly relying on Larry David screaming a lot, but others were clever, timely and funny
RECENT
Pretty generic, but entertaining enough, with decent fight sequences
Offers decent thrills and the cast work hard to make us care about what happens to their characters
Engaging enough, with a winningly goofy performance by Nicholas Galatzine and a terrific score
OLDER
Premiered in 1984: Rupert Everett is very good in an understated, intelligent film that uses its crisp Oxford locations well
Premiered in 1938: Not one of the most famous screwball comedies of the 1930s, but an excellent example of the genre
Premiered in 1998: We’re drawn into the intrigue, but the story doesn’t have much of a satisfying conclusion
LONGER REVIEWS
Premiered in 1942: Production values are high throughout, and the film builds up to a moving finale
ABOVE AVERAGE
Originally shown in 2022-2026: A sharp, fast and action-filled account of everything that could go wrong on opening night
New in Global Theaters: Dark and brooding like so many other films by this director, but capable of stirring emotions and delivering great thrills at the same time
